I told Shawn I'd either invest in a solid AAA membership in case of a flat, or else throw a Yakima Load Warrior on top and carry a full-size spare!

    I'll add this: In my last VX (the late, lamented Ironman...RIP!), all I did was add a 6" sub (yes, a tiny sub) into a custom-fabbed enclosure for the jack cubby! Even the 6" sub, separately amped from the stock head unit, improved the sound about a million percent.

    This time, adding a 10" sub in a MUCH better enclosure, and then upgrading to an Eclipse head unit...well, I'll probably never leave the VX. Except to pee.

    Maybe not even then.
    PHO2GR4 I will try to get it done this week and get it to you before X-mas. If not it will be just after.
    Anybody else intrested? shawn

    I recieved Shawn's box and I must say, the quality and craftsmanship far outweighs even that of namebrand boxes I have bought in the past. Shawn has da'skillz!! Superb work!

    It is tricky getting the box tucked into the tailgate and i have yet to get it all the way in (only spent about 5 minutes trying before I had to get on with some errands). I hope to get back to it later this evening.

    Shawn, I bluffed on the sub that I have. It's actually a JL Audio 12W6. A bit bigger than what I think I told you. But, it fit like a !@#$ing glove! Dropped right into place and screwed right in. I put some polyfill in there and tested it out. It sounds great. Excellent thump, no box rattle, and with the tailgate thoroughly insulated already, the body has no rattle either. Too awesome! EVERYONE needs this box!

    Now to properly seat the box in the tailgate so I can get cracking on the rear cover speaker port.

    Score: 10/10

    Got the WRX in the garage for most of this week doing the annual winter wash/buff/wax so the VX will have to wait till the weekend to get any TLC (even if she did get the wash/wetsand/buff/wax already). I am sure I will figure out the box in no time.... it's just a matter of finding the 10 seconds of time to be able to get around to it, heh.

    Thanks again Shawn.
